+     * `desc' and `privdesc' deserve a comment.

+     * `desc' is the game description as presented to the user when
+     * they ask for Game -> Specific. `privdesc', if non-NULL, is a
+     * different game description used to reconstruct the initial
+     * game_state when de-serialising. If privdesc is NULL, `desc'
+     * is used for both.
+     * 
+     * For almost all games, `privdesc' is NULL and never used. The
+     * exception (as usual) is Mines: the initial game state has no
+     * squares open at all, but after the first click `desc' is
+     * rewritten to describe a game state with an initial click and
+     * thus a bunch of squares open. If we used that desc to
+     * serialise and deserialise, then the initial game state after
+     * deserialisation would look unlike the initial game state
+     * beforehand, and worse still execute_move() might fail on the
+     * attempted first click. So `privdesc' is also used in this
+     * case, to provide a game description describing the same
+     * fixed mine layout _but_ no initial click. (These game IDs
+     * may also be typed directly into Mines if you like.)
